I also knew Gene Cartwright from Jr.High although they were all a couple of years older than I. Great shot, I think it may have been on Veterans day but it might just have been a skit at an assembly which was very common for EHHS at that period of time.Tony Desmukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23936398.post-59272722366248862842011-04-06T23:16:36.455+01:002011-04-06T23:16:36.455+01:00WWII airmen, especially those who flew over Europe...WWII airmen, especially those who flew over Europe, really performed an incredibly dangerous service. Not many of the folks back home could comprehend the nature of their service as very few American citizens in those days had flown themselves. When survivors came home, there was no one to talk to, no one understood. All their lives they struggled with how to rationalize what they had done and generally settled on not talking about it. Late in life, these magnificent airmen gathered together in reunion groups and spent a lot of time trying to understand what they had been a part of themselves. It's a fascinating and emotional story. PugPugnoreply@blogger.com
